• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee on Health is facing a very big problem. We have 350 intern doctors who have been working and from September, they have not been paid. Somehow, people look at medical personnel like they are supposed to be charitable; that they are not supposed to be doing a very important service in this country. We know very well that over the years, health personnel have been going on strike day in, day out simply because they have not been treated properly. As much as there is the Abuja Declaration that 15 per cent of the national budgetary allocations ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, those 350 interns have been working. Apart from them, there are others who voluntarily decided to come in while they wait to be put on the payroll this April. The Ministry of Health had only asked for Kshs1.3.billion and yet, not even a shilling has been set aside to pay those interns. Everybody is asking us to wait until the next financial year. Meanwhile, those doctors – because for all intents and purpose they are doctors as they have graduated--- They are in are in transition. They are being supervised by other medical officers before they settle down ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, if you go to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and all the general hospitals – like what were being referred to as district hospitals in big towns - you will find those interns working. They are the ones who work day and night. They are the backbones of those institutions. It is a very sad day that nobody wants to listen to this. Everybody is talking about health services having been devolved. However, we are not going to devolve such an important issue like internship. It is something that has to be done before those doctors can actually ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, our Committee involved the Health Principal Secretary and Cabinet Secretary. We sat down and discussed with them. We sat down with their budget officers. We discussed all that, but nobody has taken it seriously. We even sat with the Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee who felt that health is a devolved service. However, we need to ask ourselves: Is the internship programme in this country also devolved? That is the question we need to ask. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, even as I sit down, I want to encourage the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Health to engage the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Treasury, so that they can come up with those funds. It should be, at least, some amount of money that can be used to pay those intern doctors, so that they can continue with what they are doing. They are offering a very important service. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Ahsante sana Bwana Spika kwa kunipa fursa hii ya kuongea juu ya suala hili la Hazina ya Uwezo. Ni kweli kwamba Wakenya wamengojea kwa muda mrefu. Nasimama kumuunga mkono kiongozi ya walio wengi hamu Bungeni. Wakati umefika; chelewa chelewa utakuta mtoto si wako. Bwana Spika, tumengoja kwa muda mrefu sana. Wakati tumengojea hivi kuna umuhimu tukubali kwamba Kenya imebadilika na katika Bunge hili hatuko peke yetu bali tuna wenzetu. Yale ambayo wametaka tubadilishe ni machache tu. Mimi nimeyapendelea hayo mabadiliko kwa sababu kuna umuhimu Serikali kuu ihusishwe wakati tunafanya hizi kazi. Nimependa pale walipotaja kuwa mwenye kusimamia masuala ya maendeleo ... view
• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: tupitishe hii mara moja na tufanye kazi pamoja na wananchi kuhakikisha kuwa maendeleo mashinani yamewawezesha watu wetu kuishi na kukabili matatizo yaliyoko. Hii ni kwa sababu kutafuta hela kwenye mabenki inahitaji kuwa na vyeti vya kumilki ardhi na mambo mengi ambayo Wakenya wengi hawana, hasa akina mama na vijana. Ahsante sana Bwana Spika. Naunga mkono. view

• 18 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the House do now agree with the Committee in the said Report. view
